Arcana Coelestia # 3996
3996. And this shall be my reward. That this signifies that it was from Himself, is evident from the signification of “reward,” as being what was his, that is, Jacob’s, on account of his service; and that these things signify from His own power, or what is the same, from Himself, may be seen above (n. 3975, 3977, 3982).
Ezekiel 33:16
16
None of his sins that he has committed shall be remembered against him: he has done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live.
